Standby (On demand) mode for backup connections
By default, a backup connection for Internet access is always in the connected state. This maximises the speed of switching to a backup connection if the main connection fails.
If the user prefers that the router only initiates a backup connection to the operator when the main channel fails, then the backup channel needs to be set to Standby (On demand) mode (available from KeeneticOS 4.0 and higher). In this case, it takes longer to switch to Standby (On demand), but there are advantages in this mode. Указанный режим доступен на подключениях к интернету через модем 5G/4G/3G (через сотовую сеть) и Wireless ISP (WISP).
Examples of when it is advisable to use this option:
according to certain tariffs, your operator can deduct funds from the user's balance for the fact of connecting to the network at least once a day for a few seconds;
If the standby channel is always active, service traffic is being received and transmitted, and cellular operators can charge the subscriber based on the traffic;
less power consumption of 4G modems in Standby (On demand) mode;
в режиме WISP отключить постоянное сканирование эфира в поисках указанной точки доступа, что приведет к работе резервного подключения только при отсутствии основного соединения.
Standby (On demand) mode can be set for backup modem connections and WISP via the web interface in the Connection type section, and Ethernet cable connections (via CLI only).
The Standby (On demand) mode is not in use:
The Standby (On demand) mode is on:
The Standby mode can be switch enable/disable using commands via the router's Command-line interface (CLI).
For example:
interface {name} standby enable — switch connection type to Standby for specified interface {name}For Mobile Broadband Connection:
interface UsbLte0 standby enable — enabling
interface UsbLte0 standby no enable — disabling
system configuration save — saving settings
For Ethernet Cable Connection:
interface GigabitEthernet0/Vlan4 standby enable — enabling
interface GigabitEthernet0/Vlan4 standby no enable — disabling
system configuration save — saving settings
